Live,
OK, let's take the tough ones first.

And I am hoping to get rid of some.[/quote]
All you are picking up on is a very detailed WinXP report and nothing to be concerned about.
Where you want to look is in the Devices by Type section of the Hardware area and be concerned if there are any yellow exclamation marks or question marks. If there are none and everything works, you got it right.
XP does lots of sharing and pretty much gets high marks for getting it right. But, it also "shares" conventionally. i.e. D8000000 thru DFFFFFFF has been the "defacto" memory area for the video since about the introduction of the 32bit PCI bus.
Similarily, IRQ11 had been reserved for video but is shared among compliant busmaster PCI boards, as are many of the other IRQs.
For example, IRQ6 is mostly still dedicated to the floppy, although it is no longer necessary to do so as long as an "advanced" OS is installed.
IRQ13 is dedicated to the FPU and may not be shared.
And even though we are now freed from the IBM tyranny of IRQ12 being locked to the PS2 mouse, slowly, movement is noted at these levels as USB can take over the mouse and keyboard functions.
and so on...
You may disable nearly anything you want in the BIOS...hit Del key at the proper time in the POST sequence and go to Advanced Chipset Features. From there you may find the BIOS settings that you are looking for.
PS I hope you installed the driver(s) from the EPoX disk right after you got XP running on your machine.
Also, I recommend installing the XP SP-2.
OK, some of you may wish to give argumentative discourse, but that's why they build Ford & Chevrolet.
